Post Cards Don't Fit In The Computer

Mountains, different coasts, pretty girls, indian ghosts, broken pedals, raving lunatics, walmart parking lots, amazing skate parks, border patrols, wild animals, southern accents, lots of driving. It will be 6 weeks on the road this Sunday, with possibly up to three more weeks to go, but probably more accurately whenever I get sick of sleeping in the narrow cab of my truck, which is already.
            Heading into Oklahoma city today, the stomping grounds of Mat Hoffman, who almost everybody can agree is one of the sickest riders ever (except Luke, who is just a little confused). Among other things he has invented probably half the tricks that people do (and also some that nobody else will ever do), having his own video game, keeping bike riding in the x games, owning his own bike company and in so many other ways revolutionizing bmx riding on on and off his bike. However what I remember most was him pulling a no handed 900 in the 2002 x games(the first one anybody did). This was about the same time I was finding out what bmx was and probably one of the first times I saw somebody do something on a bicycle and had my mind blown. You could say it was one of the pivotal moments of my interests in getting into riding.
          Well here I am 10 years later, not as an accomplished rider by any means but still doing the one thing I've probably enjoyed doing and being a part of more then any other thing Ive done before or since. So it makes an interesting coincidence to be in the midst of a trip where riding has been one of the focuses, in a city (and several other ones along the way) where riding has been pushed tremendously in many parts to becoming what it is today. This has been an interesting trip so far, just as all of this bike riding, and life in general has been. All of those things in their own respect have been some kind of wild ride and I will continue to enjoy each for as long as time allows. Catch "you's all" on the flip side.
